I dunno...I love my watch--I loathe having to fish for my cell phone to tell what time it is. It's just a cheapie Fossil, but it looks good and has been keeping perfect time for the last 4-5 years. And, hillsy, it has no numbers! :P

My wrist is like the rest of me....seldom nude. I love watches. It's still so natural for me to check my wrist before digging out my mobile. They look....classic. Then again, I'm old. Probably the younger folks who wear them do so as an accessory.

I recently started wearing a watch again because I had to replace my cell phone, and I REALLY don't want to be exposing the new phone to the possibility of being dropped several times a day when I check the time on it.

You folks and your fancy shmancy digital wristwatches. I'll stick with my old school pocket watch, thank you very much.

Seriously though, I'd love to wear a proper wrist watch, but the metal backings used on most watches cause my skin to break out. If I could get one of those Tokyo Flash watches with a plastic backing, I'd be all over 'em.

Hiroko has excellent taste- and congratulations on your anniversary! She may have chosen the gift a little too well because from my experience Rotologs draw women's attention. :)

Not sure if they're stolen, or knockoffs, or if the quality is comparable to the "real" version. I ordered some solar-powered Jeep toys earlier in the year, and aside from the use of a shipping envelope vice box and the flimsy packaging of the toys themselves, the quality of construction, casting, and paint on the Jeeps was respectable especially for the price and considering the free shipping.

How's the quality? Is it based on a more expensive designer watch? If so, do you have an original to compare it to? I'm tempted to buy the first watch in my post since I'm partial to bracelet-like watches.
